No ads, no masters.

There's never been a worthwhile server with unskippable or unblockable ads.

How does one have a donation = no influence policy?

Huge companies donate to make open apps like this reliant on them. Then they threaten to pull the donation if that doesn't happen...

Strong Copyleft licenses protect from this by allowing others to fork and keep an app going without being taken advantage of.

If Google donates 1 billion dollars tomorrow, and over several months, Ladybird will expand to use that money. Then Google can threaten to stop the donations unless LB does something like "make ad blockers worse"

It's a web browser. The only money they will make is from donations. Unless they do something wonky with their business model, like charge. Then no one will use it anyway.

It is the greatest mystery of my life that there are so many Forza games.

Same few tracks. Keeping your stick mostly in the middle, with slight adjustments to the left and right.

At least Mario Kart is fun.

I can't find any source to back this up

I'm fully aware of what a SHA file is, and it's entirely unimportant to me.

Admittedly, I did check the arch image I use at work.

Permaseed is the default. To disable perma-seed would be to set an upload limit, like a time amount or a ratio.

I run a ratio of 2:1 for most stuff

This is especially useful for Books. Small torrents are so hard to find. I perma seed books/audiobooks and copy to my slskd directory because they're so hard.

I have a baby.

This is accurate.

Buy a pixel a or an older flagship.

8 pro, virtually identical to the 9 pro, is like $400 renewed on Amazon. It'll be more powerful than your S8, but not that powerful overall. Not sure how it compares to an A series, worth looking in to.

GrapheneOS is the most stable OS I've ever used. I haven't ever had any problems with it that wasn't a result to its security features.

Exact same boat...

 

Obviously, the closer to AGPL, the better, in my opinion. But I'll run some MIT, if the product is sufficiently better, for my use case, than the alternative. For example, I want a multilibrary photo album. Photoprism (AGPL) doesn't offer it, but Immich (MIT) does. As soon as Photoprism has that functionality, I'll switch back simply for the license.

My hard line is open source. I don't use any proprietary solutions.

 

My wife is using Google Photos, and I've been using Photoprism for a few months. I just had a baby, and I access to download the pictures that my wife takes. I'm not too sure of what I want. I guess I want two separate libraries, but I want to be able to view her pictures easily and add them into my library. I believe if I spin up a second photoprism instance, I'd have to download her pictures individually and reupload them into my instance.

What do any of you do? Do you even host photo storage for your family?

 

Just a heads up, if you're looking to have children in Ohio. If you and your spouse work at the same place, your company can give you a shared FMLA pool, rather than two separate pools. Not sure if this is a common rule, across the country. And obviously your company can give you more as they see fit.

The company my wife and I work lets us take 2 weeks off with no approval needed, which is what I'll do, and I'm giving my wife the 12 weeks of FMLA. I only have 2 weeks vacation time, so if I took any more, I'd start eating my cash.
